We’ve featured Victoria’s amazing work before on the blog. Victoria writes, “…The quilt is part of an on-going series of mine titled ‘Work Quilts’, and was inspired by old, patched utilitarian quilts. It is both machine and hand quilted, and the hand quilting was inspired by the patchwork stitching found on quilts from places such as India and Pakistan. (The thread used for the hand stitching is Sulky® Premium 100% Egyptian Cotton Thread).”

Her quilts and fancy pincushions are gorgeous, not to mention her beautiful quilting stitches. And she is kind enough to share the thread she uses on her blog. Sharing is caring, and quilters don’t ever seem to mind sharing their talents and secrets!! Quilter’s Rock!!!

The big stitch quilting adds a texture that is really nice. Victoria’s sense of color, and proportion for her designs are very inspirational. I have been seeing that type of quilting lots of places lately, I think I will try it!
Thanks for sharing!

I have admired Victoria’s work for quite a while and they are works of art. This quilt is my favourite because even though the colours are fantastic and artsy, you can still imagine cuddling up with it.

Victoria’s quilts are breath taking. I am a knitter but subscribe to Whip Up and have been astonished by the quilts during “mini-quilt’ month. I know quilts are truly an American art form, however I didn’t realize that present day quilt makers possessed this same ability to move me emotionally.

I don’t understand why but when I look at these quilts they take me to an old place while I am standing in the new.

Love this quilt. The binding gives it such a personality. This is a wonderful example of the work being elevated because of just the right fabric choices. I want to lay this in a field of grass & watch the clouds move.

Love the colors on this quilt!! I often find it interesting that while patchwork quilting started out of necessity–it now has a whole industry built around it producing fabric, machines, and tools. Not that I don’t love everything the industry produces!!
